A public building has to work for a stranger in a hurry. Terminal Nord organises a busy interchange around a single legible hall — you can see where to go the moment you step inside, in daylight or in the long Icelandic dark.
Durable, low-maintenance materials were chosen for a building that never closes, and generous glazing keeps the interior connected to the harbour and the weather beyond.
